Part 1: Promotion of Healthcare Services In recent years, promotions have become an important part of healthcare strategy. Promoting a service is often very different than the promotion of a product. Equally important is the medium through which you promote your service, whether it is in person; online or through traditional promotional avenues, promotion has become a critical aspect of a marketing strategy. Compare the use of print media and the Internet in the promotion of healthcare services. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Explain. Part 2: How HIPAA works with strategy? In 1996, the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act was put into effect. This legislation profoundly changed the way the healthcare industry work in the United States. As such, healthcare organizations have had to create and change their strategies around this landmark legislation. Discuss the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the impact it has had on the exchange of data that includes health-related patient information.

Assignment 1: Deficit Spending
During the Great Recession, like any other economic downturns, as unemployment rises, aggregate income declines causing a major decline in tax collections. On the other hand, with the rise in unemployment, spending on safety net programs rise. So, there are not too many good options available to resort the health of the national economy. It will be very difficult to defend cuts in the federal government programs and especially the programs geared to sustain the minimum of the standard of living for the recent “poor.” So, government needs to increase its borrowing. Deficit spending refers to government spending exceeding what it brings in federal income and corporate taxes during a certain period. Deficit spending hence increases government debt. Most economists accept that deficit spending is desirable and necessary as part of countercyclical fiscal policy. In such a case, government increases its borrowing and hence its deficit to compensate for the shortfall in aggregate demand. This is derived from Keynesian economics, and has been the mainstream economics view. Following John Maynard Keynes, many economists recommend deficit spending to moderate or end a recession, especially a severe one. When the economy has high unemployment, an increase in government purchases creates a market for business output, creating income and encouraging increases in consumer spending, which creates further increases in the demand for business output. (This is the multiplier effect). This raises the real gross domestic product (GDP) and the level of employment and lowers the unemployment rate. Government borrowing under such circumstances increases the demand for borrowing and thus pushes interest rates up. Rising interest rates can “crowd out” (discourage) fixed private investment spending, canceling out some of the demand stimulus arising from the deficit
Write an essay analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of deficit spending and the effects of federal government borrowing on the economy i.e., the “crowding out” effect.

You are working in an ICU where a 16-year-old girl is in critical condition after an auto accident. Her mother comes in and begins to sing, sprinkle tobacco around the bed, hang eagle feathers and crystals around the room, and move her hands back and forth above the girl’s body. The girl’s nurse tells the mother that visiting time is over and that she should take all these dirty things out of the room. The mother insists on staying by the bedside and says that if she had placed rosary beads or Bibles in the room she would not have been questioned.
What cultural and spiritual issues are evident in this situation?
Cultural care is a type that involves the delivery of care in a non-conventional where care should be delivered in a way to accommodate the patient’s preference. The way that transcends cultural boundaries and considers a client’s culture as it affects health, illness and lifestyle, communication, dietary preferences, and dress are influenced. In this case, hang eagle feathers and crystals around the room can be accommodated if it will not interfere with scientific care.
Apply cultural competence to this case
Cultural competence is the ability of nurses to understand and address the entire cultural context of each client within the realm of the care they deliver. The nurse should be able to allow cultural exceptions for the patient and her mother. The patient’s mother’s faith was tied to the artifacts that she brought and will help the girl get better the moment she sees those things.
Discuss complementary therapies evident in this situation
In this situation, the mother is applying holistic/cultural care to the conventional scientific care the nurse is providing. This accommodation is will enhance nurse-patient interaction and relationships.
How would you incorporate spiritual care?
Nurses can provide spiritual care by attending to several important spiritual elements. This includes supporting the patient’s spiritual beliefs and needs and individualizing spiritual care to the patient. I would start by taking cues from the patient including but not limited to asking for the patient’s preferences. Also, supporting the patient within the limits of their faith and share encouraging thoughts or words.
How would you approach this situation?
I will approach this situation with caution and respect. I will create accommodations with the hospital policy in mind. By attending to the patient’s several important spiritual elements. The patient’s family acknowledges the higher powers and believes in the intervention of higher power. I will not stand in the way.
What principles would guide you?
I will base my guide on the ethical principles of patient-centeredness, holism, discretion, accompaniment, and tolerance. These are the core principles that guide spiritual care.
